CRESTED GECKOS!

We just love our geckos they are so easy to keep!

We feed our geckos Pangea 3 times a week and we spray our tanks every day or second day. Although exoterra is a very good tank to have, not everyone can afford one. So you can keep your gecko in a critter keeper. Just place a hide in the tank for it to sleep in during the day. Also add a water bowl in the tank, they love water.

]]>Announcement : Rozzer’s Tarantulas and TarantulaCafé mergedhttp://blog.rozzerstarantulas.co.za/announcement-rozzers-tarantulas-and-tarantulacafe-merged/
Tue, 14 Mar 2017 14:56:44 +0000http://blog.rozzerstarantulas.co.za/?p=3365It is with great pleasure that we announce that Rozzer’s Tarantulas have merged with TarantulaCafé!

TarantulaCafé was one of the pioneers in the tarantula hobby (in South Africa and globally) – a familiar sight at all the local expos. It is also the biggest breeder of geckos in South Africa with a great selection of excellent stock. Hendrik Steenberg (owner) is a dear friend of ours – to have his expertise, knowledge and experience with us is a great honour.

We’ll be managing TarantulaCafé’s gecko and tarantula stock from our base in Johannesburg.

What does it mean for Rozzer’s Tarantulas’ customers

The keen pundits on our website would’ve already noticed the added selection of geckos, enclosures, tarantula species and tarantula specimens on our online shop. That is, for Rozzer’s Tarantulas customers you will still get the same fast service, but with more to choose from.

What does it mean for TarantulaCafé’s customers

We welcome the family of TarantulaCafé’s clients wholeheartedly. Your requests will be serviced by us via our online shop and social media presence. The only difference is that your purchases will be shipped from Johannesburg and not Whiteriver.

Thanks again from the TarantulaCafé and Rozzer’s Tarantulas teams to all our customer’s support through the years – you guys are stars!

This is a very scarce Brachypelma sp. not always available in SA. This is a medium size tarantula which is easy to care for and they are good beginner spiders. However its a must have for the experienced keeper as well! They have a shiny black colour after a molt and look different to other Brachypelma sp. Truly stunning spiders! I’m definitely keeping a few for myself.

Wed, 23 Nov 2016 07:07:19 +0000http://blog.rozzerstarantulas.co.za/?p=2871It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Have you been a good girl or boy? Or know one? Then good news – it is our end-of-year sale where you get to choose between 4 spiders or a cart discount of 5%.

Be more creative this year than soap and a rope, socks or ties !!! Get something your person would get excited about. Tarantulas are unique and easy to look after – far more interesting than a DVD. Kids and adults love seeing their new pet tarantula grow into a giant fluffy!
Here are the T&C’s:

Consider the following slings to add to your collection:

Poecilotheria-metallica. This Pokie species is a striking royal blue. The leg undersides are a bright lemon yellow. It is reported that the venom from this tarantula is stronger than most tarantulas. Even though this tarantula is fairly docile, because of its potential speed and venom..

The Antilles Pink toe Tarantula has to be one of the most beautiful tarantula species in the world. When the spiderlings hatch out, they are a brilliant blue color, and by the time they reach adult coloration they become covered in metallic reds, greens, and purples. The photo above shows the adult coloration. It is a docile yet skittish species that can be quick to run if disturbed. This still does not eliminate it from the beginners’ category. These colorful tarantulas create strong webs in tree bark in the wild, and they will do the same in captivity if provided with branches or cork bark.

The Eupalaestrus Campestratus also commonly known as the Pink Zebra Beauty (PZB), is considered one of the most sought after tarantulas. In fact, it is ideal for a beginner hobbyist to start with. Originating from the Grasslands and savannahs of Paraguay, the Eupalaestrus Campestratus has a very distinctive look to them. One species of tarantula that have beginners often confused between the two is with the Chaco Golden Knee. Because of the natural habitat these tarantulas come from, they are more than used to harsh weather conditions, where there is heavy rain in the summer while almost non in the winter. Making these tarantulas a really hardy species. Most of you knows Pink our celebrity that always are at all the exotic expos. We can literally pet her belly. They are the most friendliest tarantulas you’d ever own.

Cyriopagopus albostriatum, also known as the edible spider or Thai zebra tarantula, is a moderately large fossorial tarantula species from Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia (rainforest areas). This species’s name comes from the Latin Greek prefix albo, meaning white, and the Latin word striatus, meaning lines or striped. This species has white stripes going down each leg, and a white zig-zag pattern on its opisthosoma (abdomen). These patterns on a black background have earned it the common name “Thai zebra tarantula.” This tarantula is very skittish and defensive, although it can also be very aggressive. It is an Old World tarantula and, therefore, has no urticating hairs. So, its only defenses are biting and fleeing. This tarantula is known to have venom that is more potent than that of many tarantula species.

The Cyriopagopus sp. Hati Hatiis a relativity new and rare addition to the hobby. They are not easy to get hold of but is a beautiful addition to any collection. Adults have an overall metallic blue/violet sheen to them and they grow very big. They are arboreal and are extremely fast. So for all the elite collectors. Here is one for you.
